Happy Birthday, Rachel...

Happy 7th Birthday, Miss Rachel!

How is it possible that you are turning 7?? It seems like just yesterday that we brought a little bundle of sweetness home from the hospital. And now you are a big girl!

You are a delight. I am so very, very thankful you were born and so lucky to be your Mama.

You are one of the sweetest, kindest, most gentle people I know. I love to watch you "big sister" your little brother. You are so loving and no one comes even close to being as cuddly as you!

Your sweet smile lights up our lives.

You are simply enjoyable, Rachel of mine...

You are a good friend, a great student, a sweet sister and a precious, precious daughter.

Your bright eyes and the way you talk just charm the socks off of anyone who meets you.

You are my sweet, sweet angel girl.

I just adore you...it's impossible not to!

You are so much fun.

You are as cute as cute can be and always have been.

So today you're seven. You're learning to ride your brand-new bike. You are growing up, my love, and I'm so, so thankful that I have gotten to watch you turn into the lovely girl that you are. I can't wait to see all the wonderful things you do this year. I hope this year is the happiest and most fun year yet.

Happy Birthday, Sweet Miss Rachel. Mama loves you.
